At least Thunderbird configs are stored in ~/.config/.mozilla/thunderbird. Right? Right...?

Is there something you lack in Wayland but have in xorg?

If my laptop suspends (?), the graphics get scrambled. Like, I shut the lid, come back a few hours later, and it's a completely garbled mess. Happens with Wayland; doesn't happen with X11.

I love Linux, but I don't think that Linux users should promote it like it's a free Windows, because it isn't. You should learn Linux because you want to learn Linux, not because you hate Windows.

Frankly, I didn't go 100% Linux right away. I dual-booted for several years first.

TIL that operating system Linux is an example of anarcho-communism

Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary.

China hasn't been communist in a long time.

Try reading slower. Look up words you don't understand with a dictionary.

You're misinformed. It's okay to admit when you're wrong.

All the Firefox forks are pretty much dead as well.

Firedragon and LibreWolf seem to be pretty healthy. I've been using LW daily for over a year and FD daily for 1-2 years before that.

What do you mean by "actually work in the real world"? I can go on GitHub right now and fork a project within 5 minutes. So can you. It works.

Trademark. Not copyright. And the part that is covered is Mickey.

This could also be covered under copyright, since the only Mickey that went into public domain is the one from Steamboat Willie, not this one. I'm not a lawyer, though.

I'm going to post this thread anytime I get some random screaming about how Linux is soooo much easier than Windows.

What a ridiculous straw man. I don't think I've ever heard anybody promote Linux but claiming that it's easier than Windows.

This bullshit is the number 1 detractor of adoption.

That's a trend I've noticed from Linux critics: they had some bad experience due to a use case that they didn't feel was properly catered to, and because they had a bad experience, that's the reason why more people aren't choosing Linux.

I've never used mouse gestures. I'm willing to bet most users don't. People aren't picking up Linux and going "Aaarrrgghhh! This sucks, because I can't program my mouse gestures!" This sounds like a power user feature. Catering to power users so that they don't badmouth you online is not a good UX design strategy.

Meanwhile the vast majority of users couldn't care less, and just want to play games, browse the web, and chat with friends, all of which is completely functional in Wayland and has been for a while.

The last couple of times I tried Wayland, it broke my desktop so badly that I couldn't even use it.

Granted, that was "a while" ago, so my experience might be better now, but it's made me very wary of it.

Consensus doesn’t require everyone in the world to agree it just requires the majority to agree

An overwhelming majority, yes. Do you a have a survey or study that demonstrates this?

clearly the majority do otherwise the comment that it’s confusing would not have been made.

This makes no sense. Anybody can make any comment. Just because I say a thing doesn't mean that the majority agrees with me.

It's still illegal. This version of Mickey Mouse is still covered under trademark law.

What's funny is that Disney built their empire largely on public-domain works (such as fairy tales), but when it's their turn to give back, they fight it tooth and nail. Classic getting to the top and then pulling up the ladder behind you.

It isn't a consensus, though. If it were, nobody would be debating it.

In that case, it's sad that he doesn't think the Russian people would revolt over sending hundreds of thousands of them to die in a pointless war.

It seems reasonable to me that you could admire somebody without thinking that they're a friend or family. That's what being a fan is. Some of the more extreme fans are going to want to know intimate details about the object of their admiration. I don't see how it's different from any other obsessive hobbyist.
